President Obama tonight said hes interested in seeing an assault weapons ban reintroduced, breaking his silence on the legislation, which has persisted in spite of at least five mass shootings during his term.

Obama can say what he wants, do what he wants, he’s king, until he soon realizes there’s a wall he cannot move. Or maybe the pessimists are right, it’s over, raise the surrender flag and send yourself the white feather of cowardice. Me? No way, I’ll fight to the end.

OK. Send the Kenyan Kommunist Klown an Assault Weapons Ban. Ban all select-fire carbines capable of full auto or burst fire. Extend that to ALL civilians and civilian forces, such as the police and federal law enforcement.

And to think, in 1962 Thomas J Dodd and Emaual Cellar proposed the first federal law on common firearms.

1962; We dont want to take away your firearms, we ONLY want to register handguns! Rifles and shotguns will not be affeCted.

1964: We only want to register all your guns, not ban them! Only Army surplus guns will be banned.

1968: We only want to register your guns, and ban Saturday Night Specials and small foreign handguns along with army surplus rifles! (They got the ban on 5 shot army surplus rifles and handguns and small foreign pistols)

1970: We only want to ban Saturday night specials! large handguns and rifles will not be affected! There was also a call at this time to ban all private possession of ALL GUNS.

1976: We only want to ban all handguns! Long guns will not be affected!

1981: The NRA should give up their handguns, and they can keep their rifles!- Lee Grant on GMA

1984: We must ban assault Rifles, unsuitable for hunting!

1989: George Bush bans import of foreign made assault rifles:.

1992: Assault rifle ban passed by Clinton.

2000: first calls to ban single shot .50 cal rifles...

and so it continues.

They lied to us in 1962.
They lied to us in 1964.
TheY lied to us in 1968.
They lied to us in 1970.
They lied to us in 1976.
They lied to us in 1981.

AND THEY ARE LYING TO US NOW!

That was only funny the first time I heard it. This being about the millionth it has gotten old to think some of my fellow countrymen are cowards that think childish excuses such as that would prevail in a gun grab instead of standing tall and being counted. Damned straight I’ve got guns and they are right here.

Asault weapon bans are vague. Before they can be banned, shouldn’t an asault weapon be defined. It used to be an assault weapon was defined as a machine gun....and those were baned. But, in the Clinton era an assault weapon was defined as any rifle with a handle on it...which are not banned as of today as long as they aren’t automatic (machine guns). I have no idea what as assault rifle ban is according to Obama. It’s an important detail.

It’s over to the extent the Obastard and his idiot minions have destroyed the United States as a constitutional republic (and I can’t see how you can dispute that, as he is governing primarily via EOs, bypassing Congress, and thumbing his nose at the Supreme Court, and getting away with it).

But, I’m with you: I’ll fight.

He’s not “breaking his silence on the legislation.” He’s mentioned it several times before to please the “upscale” part of his constituency and the same part of the constituency of the other party. And there’s been no such “legislation.” Quite a few bills attempting to be such legislation have failed.

The vast majority of voters in both parties push against any such ban. Firearms are in style, and a greater part of Americans are educated about the Second Amendment than for decades past.

All of that said, drive on. Run those stock and retail prices up. The trend and speech are fun to watch.

Oh, we’re already screwed on gun control even with the Rebpublicans holding the House. The UN Small Arms Treaty basically does this and it only requires the Senate to approve it. He has the votes to do it. The House has no say.

Time to pull the eject handle.

In the past, they needed both houses and enough politicians who thought gun control was a good idea. The difference is that this time by they have the UN Small Arms Treaty - they only need 34 votes in the Senate and the President.
